Arizona- A Connor Franta FanFic

Part 7- Guilt

      "So what's going on?" Michael asks.

      I swallow and say, "I can't find CiCi, Luna, or Dawn anywhere and no one's answering my texts, not even Luna. Do you know where the guys are?"

Mike nods and states, "Yeah, they're all in the backyard. Except Ashton, he's in the kitchen."

      A confused look appears on his face and he seems to be thinking..."What if they left?" He asks but I shake my head. "What if they're at the park nearby tho?"

      I never thought of that! Wait...but if they are how come they didn't text me back? I decide to keep my mouth shut and just go with him.

      "So how'd you guys start talking with JC, Ricky, and Connor?" I ask him.

      "Cameron just saw some guys talking and thought they looked cool. And Connor was being weird which caught his attention. That reminds me, there's something I really think you should know."

      ...Connor. Fuck. I just now remember. 'I'm sorry'. Is that really all I could come up with to explain why I had to leave Connor? He probably thinks I hate him!! I fill up with guilt and begin to play with my hair until Mike snaps me out of my trance.

      "Oceana!"

      "Huh? What?" I stutter and look at him. I notice we're in the park but he's stopped me from walking away by grabbing my wrist.

      "What's up with you?"

      I swallow nervously. Should I tell him? I mean, he IS my best guy friend. He just looks into my eyes until I answer.

      I look away from him and say, "I..I feel so guilty...Connor told me he likes me and I ran away to find Luna." I shake my head. "I should've explained it to him."

      Mike doesn't say anything for a second but then he speaks, "Go tell him the truth. He'll understand. Now we should go cuz the girls aren't here." He speaks way too fast so I know there's something wrong. He tries to walk away but I don't move and he looks back at me.

      I walk over to a bench and sit down; Michael naturally follows me and sits beside me. "Michael," I begin, "I know everything is chaotic right now and the last thing we both need is another explanation about an issue or something...but I need to know the important thing you wanted to tell me."
